Friends: 33 | Re: New World Record - 1680 miles per tank Is that the rated capacity Ken? 60 litres or do you have the same tank as us in Australia but they squeeze 60 litres in it? Although I'm happy with my range with a 45 litre tank a 60 would be nice for those long trips. I'd never squeeze more than a normal fill into my tank for fear of harming my emission control systems. |

Friends: 1 | Re: New World Record - 1680 miles per tank Very cool. How can we get a larger fuel tank in the 2010? I wish we had a 18-20 gallon tank and could fill up once a month.... |

Friends: 22 | Re: New World Record - 1680 miles per tank I would be more impressed with 150MPG over 1000 miles than 100MPG over 2000 miles. This is still a great accomplishment! I whish I could pull those numbers in a regular Prius. |

We know we can put more than 60 liters to raise the left rear wheel when filling up.  Please note that the 3G Prius could not accept such gain of gasoline.  Quote:
